Sometimes even a good working server will not respond when making a new toon..You might want to try to log in again and select your new toon.
You can get a package here.

Try it without perl..I havent been able to get perl straight yet..Big trouble with that for me at this time...
Also you need mysql front if you arent using it yet..It makes it alot easier to see your DB..Fow minilogin I think you need to set minilogin no ip password or something..I dont use it..I just changed my server to standalone using mysql front..You can also try the Database that came with the 6.2 tutorial..It works like a charm! No luclin but you can work on a new Database after your server is working like Im doing now..I just run my server from the same folder
it was in..I have more than one server folder(like 4 or 5 now)in my c:/eqemu
folder.
